Description
In December 2013 the Australian Government established the Royal Commission into the Home Insulation Program, led by Mr Ian Hanger AM QC, which reported to the government in September 2014.
The Government asked Professor Peter Shergold AC to lead an independent review of government processes for the development and implementation of large public programmes and projects.
This report provides 28 proposals for improvement on:
- providing robust advice
- supporting decision-making
- creating a positive risk culture
- enhancing program management
- opening up the Australian Public Service (APS)
- embracing adaptive government.
